[QUOTE="Mast0rMason_, post: 8670494, member: 674973"] I've got a little 2005 Corsa C (unfortunately), I'm running some 600W 'rated' 4 channel amplifier bridging 2 of the channels to 300W with the gain set as normal and the gain on the other two channels are at it's lowest as theirs no speakers even connected to them. Theirs 2 25A fuses, on the amplfiier, assuming for channels 1+2 and 3+4 so I'm also assuming it's drawing less than 30A if one of the gains is set at its lowest. The guy I bought the car off replaced the alternator and the battery and they're still pretty shiny so I know it can't be them. Does this just mean it's a wank alternator? The voltage drops to 13.4ish when long low bass hits too. Or what else could it be? Also can I throw any alternator in it if I can make up some brackets? [/QUOTE]
